Technology
Evening all......................what's up?
Again, I made it back in somewhat of a timely manner. I chose the topic of this post because, I have been a tech junkie since around 1994 when I got my first ever PC. It was a Packard Bell (cough, gag) and was a whopping 486DX2-66 with 4 megs of ram and a 480mb HDD. It had an astounding 4 speed CD-Rom and a 14.4 dial-up modem. This thing was top of the line when I dropped a little over a thousand for it. Minus the fact that it was a piece of shit Packard Bell, that was the start of my Tech days. After the first paid-for upgrade, I decided I was going to start doing it myself. Been all uphill since then. I know you can buy complete systems for a lot less, but I build my own so I know what is in it and how to fix it if there is a problem.
Now on to the reason for this post. My lovely wife, when we first met, never messed with computers or "techy" stuff at all. It was all new to her and she seemed to take a liking to the whole internet and computer thing. That was a little over 5 years ago. Now within that time, she has become quite the techy herself. I still have the upper hand, but she is right there with me. For instance, less than a year ago, I bought her a 4gig iPOD mini. She has used this thing almost everyday and to completely honest, she knows more about the tech and software side of it than I do. So when she asks me to do something with it on her PC, I am quite afraid I will screw something up. I am sure if I sat down for a while and looked over things and read a little on it, I could figure it out. But, because iPODS aren't my thing, I don't bother with it.
So the other day, we are at McDonalds eating b-fast and we see them on sale at (my favorite store) BEST BUY. So after going to the store to get me some DVD's (on sale as well), she decided to get a new iPOD with a 60gig HDD. She said it was my fault for making her a tech junky. I will gladly take the blame for that as it is nice to be with someone that is into electronics and tech stuff as much as I am. I really believe if I had enough money, my entire house would be wired into my PC. I think it would be really cool to do that.
Anyway, it is getting late and unfortunately I have to work tomorrow. So good night all and happy surfing to all the night owls out there...................................
